Ambulant version 1.0

providing a reference SMIL 3.0 implementation

On July 21st, the 1.0 version of the Ambulant Player was released. Ambulant 1.0 contains full open source for:

• Linux/Unix (base platform is RH-9)
• Mac OS X
• Windows (desktop/tablet)
• WinCE (pocket PC)
• Zaurus (Linux PDA)

Several prebuilt versions are also available, as are a suite of demos.

This version represents a significant milestone for open SMIL 2.0 players; we are confident that this is the most complete, most compliant and most comprehensive SMIL player available anywhere and by anybody.

An implementation update schedule has been set to provide a maintenance release in Q4, 2004 and a release containing functionality aligned with the current activities of the W3C's SYMM working group in late 2004/early 2005 (depending on the resolutions within the SYMM group).
